Props To Sal

I note that for well over a year....Sal STILL has the fastest Gen 2.

10.48@ 131.2 mph 1.51 60ft 4760 lbs

All the new blowers, new parts, new knowledge, new paint jobs. Even if someone beats that time there is something to be said for holding that record for as long as he has.


Props to you Sal.





Steve

Can't wait to see it run again, hope it's soon.
It seems Sal and Johnny are the only tuners that
actually run their own trucks these days, all the rest
are always beating the crap out of a customers.

Yes, definitely a congrats to Sal. 131 MPH is moving. Since our truck has been down for a looong time due to working on customer trucks, etc we have not been able to get to the track and shootout some numbers. We will be working on our 01 truck this winter. You should see some kickass times then. Good thread....

This week they both beat on customers trucks. Well, I wanted Sal to make me a chip and he drove my truck at the NMRA event.
I'd like to give Sal props for the awesome burn on the chip and taking care of some of the chip issues I had been dealing with. Great idle, quick to 140+ and DL's truck isn't even close.

congrats SAL

the one thing that sets Sal apart from all, is that his truck is STOCK WEIGHT! with working AIR CONDITION.

Who else is doing that?

No-one is!

A few people have come close, but with stripped out weight.

Sal,
I say strip the weight and go for the 9's.
then put it back together.

The first one in the 9's will hold that record for sometime.

Plus Sal doesn't have the R&D budget as the BIG guys.

Lastly;
I just want to commend JDM for giving Sal props. You don't see that often, or at least I don't.
JDM, class act!
